Originally Published 23 days ago — by Honolulu Civil Beat
The U.S. Department of Education, led by Secretary Linda McMahon, is reviewing and potentially ending federal programs serving Native Hawaiians and other minority groups, citing constitutional concerns about race-based funding, which could threaten over $12 million in funding for Hawaii's Native Hawaiian initiatives. This move has been condemned by Hawaii's congressional delegation as an attack on minority-serving institutions.
